Failure analysis of conveyor chain links: A case study
No full textLink to publisher's homepage at http://www.ttp.net/This case study is to investigate the causes of failure of chain system through characterization on the failure component. The failures that occur are relate to welding because this dipping latex industry used customized chain that have to be weld in joining with outer chain links. The analysis revealed that the weld defect such as crater leads the crack propagation and added with cyclic loading that cause the fatigue failure. The fatigue failure occurs due to this generated crack at the outer circumference of the weld within chain attachment and outer chain links plate. This type of defect also can be categories as designing-in defect. Fatigue crack propagation was evident by progressive beach marks and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed the types of microstructure that resulting at heat affected zone (HAZ). Hardness testing by using Rockwell Tester found the different hardness profile at three areas that are weld metal, base metal and heat affected zone. The maximum hardness values were found at heat affected zone and weld metal. Finite element method (FEM) that is Ansys Workbench was used to review the different size of outer link plate thickness that affected to the stress distribution. It was found that stress can be minimized with increasing the plate thickness

No full textAMARUL AZMI (180304140)/AGRIBUSINESS) with his undergraduate thesis entitled "Analysis of the Marketing Mix Affecting Purchases of Fruit and Vegetable Drinks (A Case Study at the UMKM Fruit and Vegetable Drinks in Kecamatan Stabat, Kabupaten Langkat)". This undergraduate thesis writing is supervised by Ir, Iskandarini, MM., Ph.D as the Head of Supervisory and Emalisa, SP., M.Si as the member of the Supervisory Commite.
This research investigates the analyze the effect of the marketing mix on purchasing decisions for fruit and vegetable drinks in Kecamatan Stabat. The research location was determined purposively, that is, it was chosen deliberately with the consideration that the research area had a low consumption level of fruits and vegetables and was not in accordance with the recommendations. Determination of the sample is done by accidental sampling technique, namely the determination of the sample with the technique of obtaining data by chance to everyone who is deemed suitable to be used as a sample because the number of people buying fruit and vegetable drinks is unknown. The number of samples in this research were 30 respondents. The analytical method used is the method of multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that product factors had a significant effect on purchasing decisions for fruit and vegetable drinks in Kecamatan Stabat, while price factors, place factors, and promotion factors had no significant effect on purchasing decisions for fruit and vegetable drinks in Kecamatan Stabat. From the results of multiple linear regression analysis shows that product factors have a more dominant influence on purchasing decisions for fruit and vegetable drinks in Kecamatan Stabat.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
A survey on the practicality of rainwater harvesting in offices building at Klang Valley / Mohd Amarul Haikal Abd Latif
No full textThe objective of this research is to identify the advantage of rainwater harvesting technology. Other than that, this research also completed to identify the challenge relating to rainwater harvesting also to see whether this product is practical to get applied so as to reduced monthly spending. This research is completed to several of case study. The area of the research is
around Klang Valley. The number of case study of this research is two (2) building which is applied this system in their building. The method o f carrying out this research is by questionnaire and interview. The target respondent may be the competent person which handle and caring for rainwater harvesting program. That is due to the fact to obtained this detail and accurate data in the person that were interviewed. The conversation from interview is going to be recorded and it's going to be transcribed. Only the top data will always be transcribed which associated with the research. Then, all the data is going to be analyzed to have the finding and to achieve the objectives of this research. When the information analysis completed, it indicate which the main
function involving rainwater harvesting system is good for irrigation of landscaping and garden. Apart from that, the consequence of finding also shows that the rainwater harvesting system remains quite new because every one of case study building have apply this product below than 5 decades. Mostly the reasons why this system is applying within the building due to reduce monthly water payment cost. For your initial cost, the results with the finding indicate that it's quite expensive however the installation cost is depend kind of system that was used. If the
system is simple and the effective use of the water is just for one objective, there is you don't need to installed additional portion of rainwater harvesting. For that main problem involving rainwater harvesting system that usually arise relating to rainwater harvesting is high initial price tag and faulty with pump. From this particular research, it may be conclude that this rainwater
harvesting system is usually a practical approach and have potential to be used widely in Malaysia on account of climate and other factors that produce rainwater harvesting is required. It
is has lot of benefits for the human being as well as environment
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
